Saturday was filled with wedding vows, muted pink bridesmaid dresses, and a church full of family and friends. The niece I used to babysit was getting married to her sweetheart. All the children who used to run around and throw tantrums were all graduated. I hugged the relatives that I missed last year because ofContinue reading “Monday Memories”

Finding Rhythm
The week is coming to a close and I’m finding a hard time getting back into my rhythm after a show. I know this feeling well and the good thing is I know it’s coming after a big event. Practicing what I preach I’m using my own exercises to write every day and finish oneContinue reading “Finding Rhythm”
Write A Scene Today
Standing on the edge of the rocks, their meeting place, she couldn’t tell the stars in the night sky from the earth. Both were mirrors of each other. The light from the moon flickered like a faulty nightlight. Her warm breath pushed out one small cloud when it hit the cold fall night. The hairsContinue reading “Write A Scene Today”
Publishing and Progress Update
The mighty pen returns for the rest of the summer after my first book signing event of the year but the next few months will give my writing tools a different kind of exercise. I have my own publishing hat back on for my next journal, I’m helping three other authors publish their books. TwoContinue reading “Publishing and Progress Update”
Celebration Time!
A celebration is in order! My art pieces were dropped off and put out on display to get ready for Meet and Greet Day on July 10th! A big part of the running around and getting ready for show day is over. I will be ready with pen in hand for book signing at 12:30Continue reading “Celebration Time!”
The Circus Is In Town
Okay, the weekend was a little chaotic trying to get everything ready for show day but it paled in comparison to last night. I think a full blown circus decided to move into town for a few days because I feel like every performer in the show. Not only am I the plate spinning, acrobat,Continue reading “The Circus Is In Town”
Artistic Turmoil
The weekend is approaching and I’m feeling the pressure of deadlines. I finished some promised pieces last weekend but this new piece promise is causing artistic turmoil. Let’s just say my paint brush isn’t flowing as easily as my writing pen. I’m officially feeling a new kind of “artist block”, and I’ve been here beforeContinue reading “Artistic Turmoil”
Back to School for Creatives!
Sitting in rush hour as the sun started to drop into the West, I felt tired after a long day of getting everything on my list done. The strangest part is that my air conditioning, like clockwork gave me the sniffles. I dusted and cleaned the vents, checked the filter and I still end upContinue reading “Back to School for Creatives!”
Sharing Resources
This weekend was make-up melting weather but I made it outside of my air-conditioned space a few times for some extra exercise and to meet with my new literary friends again. My meeting with them on Saturday lifted my heart. A wide grin spread across my face when they looked at their 269 page manuscriptContinue reading “Sharing Resources”
Dreams and Death
Friday is here and the Holiday weekend is filled with busy travelers trying to escape the city for a weekend at the lake in Minnesota. We are the land of 10,000 lakes and boats are in tow early as people take off early from the workweek. There may be fireworks, celebrations, and long lines atContinue reading “Dreams and Death”
Words for Pictures
We still have a few more days of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and I’m sharing a few of the reasons I started to publish. One of my dreams when I started writing and illustrating children’s books was to expand the local bookshelves because I never saw the faces of children like myself in magazinesContinue reading “Words for Pictures”
Brain Power
I was working on my next journal which will include ways to improve creativity and feel inspired when I realized something. There are times we do go blank, and it’s not out of lack of discipline. Maybe we just have too much going on. Instead of getting frustrated (my past self), stop and listen toContinue reading “Brain Power”
